Meet 9-year-old Kash from Marseilles, Illinois. Kash will be entering 5th grade this fall, but first he plans to spend his summer doing his two favorite things: fishing and making lures. Kash and his dad created Contour Lures. Together, they mold soft plastics such as minnows, grubs, ambush slayers, frogs and more. Kash stopped by Fish On Bait Shop today and stocked us with new pintail, split tail, mini and kicker minnows in many fan-favorite colors. We’re proud to support local tackle suppliers like Contour Lures and hope you will as well.
